commit the worst deed known to humankind: murder. - David
Elmore

A man is driving down a country road when he
spots a farmer standing in the middle of a huge field of grass. He pulls the
car over to the side of the road and notices that the farmer is just standing
there, doing nothing, looking at nothing. The man gets out of the car, walks
all the way out to the farmer and asks him, “Um, excuse me mister, but what are
you doing?”

The farmer replies, “I'm trying to win one of them Nobel Prizes.”

“How?” asks the man, puzzled.

people who are out standing in their field.”

Facts

Shun wishful thinking, ignore
divine revelation, forget what the stars foretell, avoid opinion, care not what
the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable verdict of history…. You
pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue. Get the facts! -
Robert A. Heinlein

Any fact facing us is not as important
as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way
you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You
are overcome by the fact because you think you are. -Norman Vincent Peale

is a simple statement that everyone believes. It is innocent, unless found
guilty. A hypothesis is a novel suggestion that no one wants to believe. It is
guilty, until found effective. - Edward Teller

A fact merely
marks the point where we have agreed to let investigation cease. - William
Bliss CarmanA man
never gets anywhere if facts and his ledgers don't square. - William FaulkerA wise
and honest man looks to broad facts, and forms his judgment from them; a rogue
endeavours to lead your attention off the true scent, away to details, that he
may puzzle and confound you with minutiae always difficult to detect, and
sometimes impossible to deny, but which, nevertheless, are nothing more than
stakes laid in your path to trip you up, that he may plunder you at his
convenience. If, therefore, the broad facts appear suspicious,doubt, but if details be
brought to aid them,be sure,
that you are in the high road to be deceived. - Charles William Day

Any
fact becomes important when it's connected to another. - Umberto Eco

Any fact facing us is not as
important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or

Vincent Peale

Any fact is better established by
two or three good testimonies than by a thousand arguments. - Marie Dressler

facts tend always to be those most easily overlooked. - Doris Lessing

are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the
dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence. - John
Adams

Facts are stupid
until brought into connection with some general law. - Louis Agassiz

Facts
do not cease to exist because they are ignored. - Aldous Huxley

Facts
may speak for themselves. - George
Washington

Facts,
therefore, have merely a potential and, as it were, subsequent value, and the
only advantage of possessing them is the possibility of drawing conclusions
from them; in other words, of rising to the idea, the principle, the law which
governs them. Our knowledge is composed not of facts, but of the relations
which facts and ideas bear to themselves and to each other; and real knowledge
consists not in an acquaintance with facts, which only makes a pedant, but in
the use of facts, which makes a philosopher. - Henry Thomas Buckle

Get
your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please. - Mark Twain

It is
not the number of facts he knows, but how much of a fact he is himself, that
proves the man. - Christian Nestell BoveeIt is
wiser and better always to face facts, never to ignore them. Interrogate them;
ask them what they mean, and what they have to teach. - Reuen Thomas

Sit
down before fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconceived
notion, follow humbly wherever and to whatever abysses nature leads, or you
shall learn nothing. - Thomas Henry
Huxley

Sometimes,
legends make reality, and become more useful than the facts. - Salman Rushdie

Sometimes,
fact mixed with fiction so thoroughly that, though no lies were told, it was
hard to remember what was strictly true. - Stephenie
Meyer

The fewer the facts, the stronger
the opinion. - Arnold H. Glasow

The
totality of facts determines both what is the case, and also all that is not
the case. - Ludwig Wittgenstein

There
are no facts, only interpretations. - Friedrich Nietzsche

There is nothing as deceptive as
an obvious fact. - Arthur Conan Doyle

To no
circumstance is the wide diffusion of error in the world more owing than to our
habit of adopting conclusions from insufficiently established data. An
indispensable preliminary, then, in every investigation, is to get at facts.
Until these are arrived at, every opinion, theory, or system, however
ingeniously framed, must necessarily rest upon an uncertain basis. - Christian Nestell Bovee

We are
all humiliated by the sudden discovery of a fact which has existed very
comfortably and perhaps been staring at us in private while we have been making
up our world entirely without it. - George
Eliot

We should keep so close to facts
that we never have to remember the second time what we said the first time. - F.
Marion Smith

What
are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore divine revelation, forget what
"the stars foretell," avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors
think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the
facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future,
facts are your single clue. - Robert A.
Heinlein

When
facts speak, the wise man listens. - Stephen
King

You can never get all
the facts from just one newspaper, and unless you have all the facts, you cannot make proper
judgements about what is going on. - Harry Truman
